SONG OF THE DAY: Ryan Lewis — “Fake Empire”
The music video for this song is great. Most people know Ryan Lewis from his work with Macklemore, but the man deserves more credit than that, he’s an awesome producer.

SONG OF THE DAY: Trampled By Turtles — “Wait So Long”
Something upbeat for those of us who will be up all night. This band hails from Duluth, Minnesota, where there isn’t much to do on long winter nights but learn to play a banjo or fiddle this fast.
SONG OF THE DAY: Low — “Try To Sleep”
Low haven’t a blemish on their lengthy discography, and 2011′s C’mon holds its own (to say the least) against the best of their past eight LP’s. The band is bringing their soft-core to CC’s Armstrong Theater on Sunday, September 25th, thanks to KRCC. Until then, listen to C’mon‘s leading track–it will wash you clean.
SONG OF THE DAY: Unknown Mortal Orchestra — “Ffunny Ffriends”
Hailing from Portland, OR, Unknown Mortal Orchestra crafts simple, catchy, hook-driven psychedelica with the infectious momentum of your favorite pop song, momentum which carries you inexorably back to where you began. Circular, redundant, visceral, addicting. u need it.
SONG OF THE DAY: The Field — “Is This Power”
Check out this cosmo-bursting opening track from The Field’s new album, Looping State of Mind.
